Parts unknown

I once knew a guy who escaped from a German POW camp to later become a bowling writer for a suburban newspaper. The guy was a decent felow with a unique writing style. He once wrote that a bowler "literally exploded on the lanes." Figuratively the guy was apparently in one piece, however, since the bowling writer quoted him. The editors caught it in time but the image stuck with me forever. I wish I could make people literally explode. First in line would be weather people. As soon as they said something like "It's 98 in Podunk but with the heat index it feels like 102"...kaboom, a literal explosion right in front of my eyes. That would be worth watching the news.
